This was also in the shed   
What can I use it for  up at the allotment?

I use the arms as supports for the broad beans and I would've used the rope for tying them up but I couldn't find anything which would cut it, it seemed to have a steel core. I've still got a tripod from the top (mine was a 3 arm whirly thing) which I haven't figured out a use for.
Oh and the main stem now carries the weather station in the garden.

Can you drape it with netting & use it to cover fruit bushes. Paint it green, not so unsightly.

I can't see which part is broken, if any.

I made something similar out of wood to cover my dwarf cherry.

I have a sun parasol which is a similar shape which I am going to take off the fabric and use the frame for sweet peas to grow up, I will probably add a wide central core of mesh so I can plant loads
